Astrology of Now: Juno Asleep
Today, Juno, the asteroid of marriage, partnership, contracts, fidelity, and promises, stations retrograde at 0° Gemini, the sign of the storyteller. In fact, she will spend most of her retrograde (until Christmas Eve) in Taurus, where she may be taking another look at some of the decisions she made earlier in the year. These may well be financial contracts, for example, that need to be rewritten — or they may be aesthetic alliances that need to be re-examined.

October 12th, 2018: Stay Calm

Libra Sun square Pluto in Capricorn (18 deg)
Mercury in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (3 deg)
Juno stations retrograde in Gemini (0 deg)
Sun/Pluto
We see themes from the October 8th New Moon in the square between Pluto and the Libra Sun. Sun/Pluto is an aspect of power, but the tension of the square means it’s expressed discordantly. There is an intensified push for control/dominance based on the fear of being controlled/dominated. You may experience this as an extreme imbalance between you and another (one person has all the power).
In Libra, the surface vibe may be quite polite and “nice” but Pluto’s shadow suggests something darker behind the scenes. Watch for passive-aggressive or indirect expressions of power. If the situation feels “off” you’re not just imagining it. Consider where the anxiety might be coming from and if there’s any way you can correct that imbalance.
Mercury/Saturn
Mercury is nicely stabilized by Saturn. Conversations and realizations will be quiet and serious. Nothing dramatic here, just the certainty that you can rely on what you discover or hear. Saturn’s rules/focus can help you stay grounded if there’s a risk of becoming overwhelmed by the depth of Scorpio-flavoured information.
This aspect can help with the crisis of the Sun/Pluto square – stay calm, focus on what you’re uncovering or what feels deeply honest.
Juno
Mercury rules Gemini, and this is where Juno Rx is. As noted in this post, Juno (agreements, contracts) has only recently entered the sign of choices and new information. New agreements or partnership choices are being questioned already, but Mercury/Saturn suggests a calm, rational approach even as you peer underneath.
This takes us back to Sun/Pluto: Libra is the sign of relationships, so there’s hint that the power crisis will be connected to Juno’s Rx (questioning the new agreement).

Astrology of Now: Authenticity, Integrity, Valour
We are just six days into the Venus Retrograde in Scorpio –– and already you may have faced a situation that tested your integrity, questioned your authenticity or required emotional courage. Each of us is likely to be challenged during this retrograde (Oct 10-Oct 31/Nov 1) in Scorpio; Oct 31/Nov 1-Nov 16 in Libra) – and the right thing to do is to be your authentic self. This is about stripping back to the essence. People may take action motivated by jealousy or revenge, of course, but just as likely they may simply have different values from you, or even […]

October 11th, 2018: Powerful Information
Photo by Úrsula Madariaga from Pexels
Mercury in Scorpio square the Nodes in Leo/Aquarius (2 deg)
Pluto in Capricorn trine Pallas in Virgo (18 deg)
Mercury squaring the Nodes suggests a key messenger or message. This piece of intel, conversation or realization will emerge from the depths and put you on notice that it’s time to step away from the past and move forward.
The Aquarius South Node represents an issue whose time has come. You’ve been here before, perhaps dealing with alienation, detachment or trauma. Mercury has something to tell you about this and it may involve a deeply honest look at what you didn’t want to admit. But it’s also your solution – here are the facts that can help you step into the light towards a place of pride, creativity, joy and appreciation for who you are (Leo North Node).
What can also help…Pluto/Pallas presents sharp strategies that are quiet but incredibly effective. Pallas in Virgo is about practical details/patterns that work and Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) intensifies them. Here is a solution that’s not dramatic, but it’s solid and very, very powerful. This is the plan that cuts through the extras – it’s clean, lean and every detail has an impact.

October 10th, 2018: Scorpio Challenged
Mercury in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)
Venus Rx in Scorpio square Mars in Aquarius (10 deg)
Mercury/Uranus
Uranus is the flash of light that illuminates Mercury in the darkness (Scorpio). There may be a sudden blast of truth, an abrupt goodbye (oppositions are endings or results) or an unexpected reveal of hidden information.
The opposition suggests an external source, and because of Scorpio’s depth, the actual result will reverberate on a profound level. It may be challenging to receive this information (or maybe you’re the one dishing out the extreme truths) because it won’t be easily received. Keep this in mind if you’re speaking/writing. If you’re on the receiving end, sit with what you’ve learned and consider it a rare chance to really see what’s going on down there.
Venus/Mars
Venus Rx/Mars can be motivating, pushy or sexy. Maybe all three. Venus Rx in Scorpio is intensely internal while Mars in Aquarius is detached actions. Mars wants but is pushing a bit too hard for Venus, even though under some circumstances this can indicate hot chemistry.
Venus Rx means that the crisis (square) of discordant actions will trigger even deeper awareness regarding money, values or relationships. But that also means that the Venus subject (a person or desired goal) will probably not be receptive to Mars. Expect delays and re-evaluations. Someone/something may withdraw even further.
Scorpio is getting hammered today by some harsh Uranus/Aquarius action. Scorpio does not like to have reveals forced on it (this sign like to do the revealing) but that’s exactly what this energy will do. So be prepared for more to come out at a much faster pace than you’re comfortable with.
Now it’s out there. What will you do?
